Ferrari 812 GTS — Rome

The 812 GTS is Ferrari's answer to a question most manufacturers never dare ask: what happens when you remove the roof from a front-mounted V12 grand tourer? The result is a car that channels its naturally aspirated engine's full voice directly into the cabin — and into the streets around you. In Rome, where architecture and acoustics conspire beautifully, that matters more than spec sheets. This is not a car you rent for discretion. The 2024 812 GTS commands attention the moment it rolls past the travertine façades along Via Veneto or climbs the switchbacks toward Frascati. Its long bonnet, retractable hardtop and quad exhaust exits telegraph serious intent. For a private dinner in Prati, a corporate arrival at EUR, or a morning departure toward Tivoli along the A24, this Ferrari sets the tone before you say a word. What separates the 812 GTS from other open-top Ferraris in our fleet is scale. It seats two, but the proportions are those of a proper GT — a longer wheelbase, a wider stance, genuine luggage space behind the seats. That makes it viable for more than a lap around the block. Clients who want to drive south toward the Amalfi Coast, or north into Umbria for a day in Orvieto, find the 812 GTS covers highway kilometres with a composure that shorter mid-engine cars simply cannot match. The retractable top stows in fourteen seconds, so you can switch from open-air cruising to climate-controlled quiet before hitting the autostrada. Rental rates start from €4,000 per day. We hold one variant of this model in Rome, so availability requires planning — particularly during spring months and around major events. Handover can be arranged at Fiumicino Airport, Ciampino, your hotel or residence outside the ZTL-restricted historic centre. If your route passes through Centro Storico or Trastevere, we will brief you on camera-enforced access zones and recommend parking options near Termini or the Vatican area. For those considering a multi-day booking — a Rome base with an overnight extension to the coast, for example — the 812 GTS rewards the longer format. It is a car built for distance as much as spectacle, and the two rarely coexist this well.
